- FLAVOR: Ubuntu Desktop, Ubuntu Server
- HEADLINE: Windows subsystem
- DESCRIPTION: Windows 10 lets you install Ubuntu as a subsystem and use it without dual booting. In practice, we _need_ windows tools (like WebDeploy) or GUI tools (like Photoshop) at work but would much rather use Ubuntu in general. The compromise (ubuntu subsystem) works but the other way around would be much better. I'm fine with paying for Windows and also CLI tools only would still be a great start.
- ROLE/AFFILIATION: Software developer. I also introduced a lot of people to Linux over the years for home usage.
